Obtain stable occlusion 2. Establish a full range of interincisal opening and mandibular excursive movements 3. Minimize deviation of the mandible 4. Produce a pain-free articular apparatus at rest and during function 5. Avoid internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint on the injured or the contralateral side 6. Avoid the long-term complication of growth disturbance. Treatment Options Closed reduction Open reduction with internal fixation Closed reduction Length of fixation • Adult 3-4 weeks • Children 2-3 weeks • Older patients 6-8 weeks Length of fixation of condylar fractures IMF • Arch Bar • Erich’s arch bar IMF • Arch Bar • Erich’s arch bar IMF • Arch Bar • Erich’s arch bar • Schuchardt arch bars Techniques of fixation • Direct wiring Techniques of fixation • Direct wiring • Ivy loops Techniques of fixation • Direct wiring • Ivy loops • IMF screws Techniques of fixation • Direct wiring • Ivy loops • IMF screws Techniques of fixation • Direct wiring • Ivy loops • IMF screws Techniques of fixation • External pin fixation Techniques of fixation • External pin fixation Techniques of fixation • External pin fixation Indications Open reduction of condylar fracture • Absolute indications • Relative indications Mode of fixation • Intraosteal wiring • Rigid fixation • Functionally stable fixation Open reduction Unfavorable or Unstable Fracture Prolonged Delay in Treatment of the Fracture Complex Facial Fractures Medically Compromised Patients Concurrent Condylar Fracture Associated with Fractures elsewhere in the Mandible Indications for Open reduction Intraosseous wiring • Simple wiring • Figure of eight • Circummandibular wiring Rigid fixation Plates and screws Delayed Union and Nonunion Infection Malunion Complications Nerve injury Growth alteration Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) Internal derangement Ankylosis Complications Delayed Union and Nonunion • No Treatment • Inadequate or improper fixation • Inadequate fixation time Complications Infection • Interfragmentary movement • Foreign body • Previously existing infection Complications Malunion and malocclusion Complications Nerve injury Complications Growth alteration and ankylosis Complications Growth alteration and ankylosis • Reading material: 1.
